Soma Gold Discovers High-Grade Gold Vein at Cordero Mine — Soma Gold Corp.

Event summary

Soma Gold discovered a new high-grade gold vein, the upper Upper Atenas Vein (uUAV), 20 meters above current mining operations at the Cordero Mine in Colombia.
Drilling intercepted high-grade gold, including 167.2 g/t Au over 0.47 meters and 94.5 g/t Au over 0.8 meters.
The uUAV vein has a strike length of 175 meters and is open to the north-northwest, with a dip extent established for 30 meters down-dip.
